Consisting of four 250m-tall skyscrapers topped with a 300m-long sky bridge, Raffles City Chongqing completely dwarfs the Singapore MBS.

It is slated to hold shopping malls, residences, hotels, and offices. Additionally, it will be equipped with swimming pools, sky gardens and dining facilities.

The outer construction of the building was just completed in the last week of February this year, and according to reports, it will be opening in phases next year, after the internal facilities are completed.

While Capitaland’s description of their development made no allusions to Singapore’s MBS whatsoever, it is pretty obvious for any Singaporean that the design takes a leaf out of MBS’s book.

Oh, and we should probably mention that Safdie was the same architect that designed Singapore’s MBS, so there won’t be any infringement lawsuits going on anytime soon!
